Take care: Strong storms now moving through Harris County

11:30 a.m. UPDATE: The strongest storms have moved through the center of Harris County, and are now affecting areas east and southeast of downtown Houston. To that end the National Weather Service has issued a severe thunderstorm warning for parts of eastern Harris County and surrounding areas until 12:15 p.m. CT.

This means streets could flood where rains are heaviest. Do not drive into high water. Parts of Harris County are also under a severe thunderstorm warning. Doppler radar indicates this system is capable of producing quarter-sized hail, generally across an area to the southwest of Houston, including the Sugar Land area. I have also received reports of hail just north of downtown Houston, near George Bush Intercontinental Airport.

Please note that it will be hazardous to be out and about during the next couple of hours, when it appears the heaviest storms will be moving through.
